RTT- My Mind Works In Mysterious Ways

Tuesday! Yay! That means I made it through Monday, which in itself is a victory. Now we are know the master of random is Keely, so click on the purple button and head on over to her place to read some more random (after you read mine dangit!!)

So I have been watching this show on TV here, Heir Hunters. Basically, when someone dies their estate goes into probate and these guys, the heir hunters, go in search living heirs. I am addicted. Seriously addicted. Addicted to the point that now I want to be an heir hunter.

Remember back in the day, before Internet, when your parents were being lazy (or didn't know the answer to your question) and told you to "go look it up". Do you remember what a pain in the butt that was? You were a lucky one if you had a set of reference books in your house, if not you had to traipse down to the local library. Then if you were lucky enough to actually FIND the answer, you had more questions and then you had to look up what the answers to them too. Now we have wikipedia. I love wikipedia, but I think I am still going to torture my kids when they get older and teach them how to look things up the old fashion way.

I finally got the wardrobe in my bedroom put together!! Now it won't look like my closet exploded in my bedroom! Well as soon as I have time to get all those clothes hung up.

I have started doing laundry with a trash bag next to me. When I am folding clothes I fill that bag with clothes to be donated to charity. Purge, purge, purge. My kids have enough clothes to clothe a 3rd world nation. I am not exaggerating.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments yesterday about Thanksgiving. I am starting to really look forward to it. Today I went through my cookbooks and pulled out all my holiday recipes.

Macaroni and Cheese can never have too much cheese.

My house might not be completely unpacked but it is starting to feel like home. Well, except I still can't find anything. Such is the life of a military wife...if you know exactly where the tape was at your old house, but you have no idea where the tape is at your new house...*sigh*

Alrighty then, I think I am about randomed out. Now you can go click on the purple button. Now. Go.

You will be all settled in soon. In the mean time this can be a look into your future life as an old lady with senility and you can't remember wher you put anything.

Why aren't there closets in European houses? Is it because we American have so much crap?

I will disagree on the macaroni and cheese statement. You know there is too much cheese when you cannot remove the serving utensil from the dish without extreme force.

I know what you mean about the clothes. All 3 of us have more than we need. I was cleaning my husband's closet last night, and man am I p.o.'ed. They are called HANGERS and he needs to figure out how they work.

I'd be addicted to Heir Hunters too if we had it here.
Have a great RTT!

Oh i remember being in school and having to do those reports and going to the library for research and all that info.. i used to hand write everything down and then when i got home i was putting everything together and only after that i was typing them at the computer and print them out to a local printing store since we were not having our own printer:P Oh those days:)..
And I'm so totally with you.. never too much cheese:)

I must admit, it wasn't until I was much older that I was totally impressed that my parents, both depression-era kids who dropped out of high school for work or the military, actually purchased a really nice set of Compton's encyclopedias. Asa kid, I never knew how much that cost, and my folks were pretty poor.

I just finally went through my closet and got rid of half my clothes. I'm sure I'll regret it, but I was so sick of all my crap sitting on the floor!

Um, wtf? I just scrolled down to enter a comment and my last comment was still here. Did you get a comment from me yesterday or is this some weird 'intense debate' thing? No, it's probably me. Now I don't remember what I was going to comment on, but it probably had something to do with cheese.

I like your evil sense of humor - I believe I too will make my kids do it the hard way :)

What does it say about me that I've lived in my house for more than two years and I can't find tape on a regular basis? Man, I'm so screwed.

For some reason the last thing we ever did at the library was look up the answer to things. I love the internets, they make me smarter...mostly.

No, you can never have too much cheese. Laundry is something else altogether.

Happy RTT.

Have fun purging. That's got to be my favourite part of moving. And no. You can never have too much cheese. Yummmmm!!

I liked it when parents would tell you to go look it up and act like they knew the answer but just did not want to make it easier for you, when in reality, they had no clue! LOL

Really? I thought when someone died and there was no will, the government just claimed it. Huh. Now I want to be a heir hunter, too.

Hey, if it keeps the government from getting it.

Mac'n'cheese with too much cheese? Has that ever been attempted???

Yup, I remember the days when libraries weren't just for fiction although I'm glad we don't necessarily have to go back there. I'm not sure I could research in a book now I'm so used to wiki.

I think it's already too late for nearly 6 - he already thinks Google is the answer to everything...

I have an entire basement, and I am not joking here, full of boxes. I don't even care what's in them, just don't make me go through them!

And NO, mnc (as it's commonly known around here) can never ever have too much cheese.

Good old encyclopedias! My mum wanted to get the boys a set one year and I was like . . . er . . . no, where will I put them?!

Great idea on purging whilst doing laundry, but it begs the question -- do you send dirty ones to the charity shops??
